the builder

the Makers. a rather recent discovery for me, a find I am of course inspired by.  I was led there many weeks back by an inspiring virtual friend Lune.  the natural, geometric detailed woodwork of the Builder is one I am fond of but there are several.  using the old and salvaged to make the new and beautiful.  its great to see a young attractive lady succeeding in a field most commonly known to men. 

I myself tinker a bit with power tools and salvaged wood, as for me the closer to rotten the wood the better, it's something that makes me happy.  my hubby and I have some ideas for reinventing the wheel yet another want-to on the to-do. you can read a little more about that here.

wasteknot

so here's an idea

don't seem to be lackin' on the ideas 'round here

lets just add another to-do to the list

but i certainly think it would be a great collaboration of my passion to salvage and collect

with my hubby's passion to design combined with his master woodworking skill

all for the purpose of reducing waste
with the grand benefit of the personal joy it brings to create treasure with 'trash'

i do indeed like his idea for the name "wasteknot"...get it

like the knot in wood an element of natures wonder that always catches my eye

like the knot that binds together

and as in not, creating a great play on words to not waste

pictured are a few creations that inspire me most from this great NY based company whose vision is reincarnated furntiture

>> stay tuned folks <<
